    Need to bin off our stadium on Vic Road now and relocate, ideally as close to the town center as possible but a purpose built 30k ground with firs class facilities is what is needed.

    With a decent location and accessibility a modern stadium could hold music events, boxing, rugby etc etc. Bring in more revenue.

    Get it done please.

    There will be an app that will show the screen content. Unfortunately due to poor 4G connectivity in the stadium it will be more effective outside of the stands.

Looks like the original plans are out of date now that the roof mounted video screen has replaced the need for corner screens. That looks like very steeply raked seating going in front of where the screen was due to be.

    Monaco play on top of a car park.

    Why can’t we relocate to the top of the Harlequin?

    Once Pozzo leaves, we could in the car park.

    Because they are already planning to put 1,000 flats on top of Intu - which with all the other flats increases the potential customer base to justify a bigger stadium.

    If the screen isn't in by now then this picture today at 3pm must be one of the following;

    -Troys new fridge for this season
    -New safe as Rennes want to be paid in cash for Sarr
    -One of the apartments is having a super caesar bed delivered into their top floor flat

    There is going to be an RS9, they're adding seating where the old screen used to be apparently.

    They won't be able to start work on this until Sarr comes back from his holiday.....in Senegal.

    I just hope Bulldog Power have got the means to hire it out all match, every match for a massive bright blue flashing advert for their drink.

    That screen is the final piece in the il duce Pozzo family plan to take over South West Herts.
    Theyve already programmed you into believing they can do no wrong.. and have sent out agents to brainwash you further into believing the whole word is against "us" (some of those agents operate here btw)
    The last act is when the screen is turned on at the first game and a huge close up of Gino's face is projected Big Brother style!

    You've been warned.

    The new corners should look pretty decent when completed. Does anyone have any new photo's? To me it looks like the North West corner will not be having a TV studio anymore but stepped corner seating has replaced this in an updated design. The original design had a four row upper balcony, is this still the case but with extra seat rows below?

    It will also be interesting to see how many seats the club can fit into the South East corner, there will still be a need for emergency access to the pitch but plenty of room to fill in above that. Also, has the stadium control room been removed / relocated from that corner? There is always the issue of the column supporting the Rookery roof, that might impact on sight lines unless something really clever has been done by the Architect / Engineers.

    One final question, any completion dates being mentioned? Many thanks.

    Unless I've missed it, they've not applied for planning permission to build anything new in the South East corner yet. I presume it would be needed?

    I keep checking the Watford planning portal but nothing sine December 2018... sometimes they will make retrospective applications, maybe for this as nothing showing...

    You can see the GT stand is being extended forward on the upper tier by about 6 rows.

    Could we put our flats on top of that?

    Freeing up the Rookery to be a Dortmund mega stand of 50,000.
